Lets get some things Straight here People...
Okay, so while life's all fun and games for you people, we've been having to struggle to get by here in Southeast Asia and the old "Hey Adam, where are the Blog Updates" ain't helping. Oh, Sure, you've got your problems, but wait till you hear what we've had to endure.
First, look at me. I'm wasting away here.
Pad Thai and Massaman Curry just don't have the nutritional value required to replace the thousands of calories burned sitting on a beach reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel". If you've read the book (Winner of the 1998 Rhone-Poulenc Science book prize - I MIGHT ADD!!!) you know what I'm talking about. And/or listening to my Ipod, which, behind swimming and Moto-cross is one of the most caloric intense activities one can engage in. Are you as surprized as I am by that?
Second, look at my Tan. That golden brown ain't easy to come by considering my blood's a Norse/German/Irish cocktail. All I can say here in Apply, Nap, Repeat. Exhausting just talking about it.
Third, these islands are potentially lethal. Seriously! Just look at this warning from Malaysia. I mean, if you're not on top of your game here, you're as good as dead.
Fourth, the threat of dehydration is always right around the corner. People don't like to talk about if much, but every year dozens of travelers fail to heed the warnings, don't keep up on their Chang/Shingha/Heineken intake, and head home without a hangover. Tragic.
Fifth, the powder white sand. "Danger" should be it's middle name.
It's so easy to turn an ankle here it's comical. And just think, if you did injure yourself, all you could do is lay in the sand and occasionally stroll to the water for a refreshing dip. It's best to eliminate the risk by not walking along the beach, but rather, lay in the sand and occasionally stroll to the water for a refreshing dip.
Sixth and finally, before I cease this mindless rant. There's the crystal clear water.
Do you have any idea how nerve wracking it is to go swimming with sharks when you actually see them! And their creepy jellyfish friends!(and for those of you keeping score at home, yes, we have now gone swimming with sharks twice)
But hazards aside, we've spent the past month on islands and they're really lacking for internet service. I'll try to blitz through everything from Angkor to now in the next few hours/days while we're on Peninsular Malaysia, but after that it's back to the Chaos and dangers of the islands and you might not hear from us for a while....
